      SPRINGFIELD, Mass., March 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Smith & Wesson Holding Corporation (NASDAQ Global Select: SWHC), a leader in firearm manufacturing and design, today announced financial results for the fiscal third quarter ended January 31, 2016.

      Third Quarter Fiscal 2016 Financial Highlights

      • Quarterly net sales were $210.8 million, an increase of 61.5% over the third quarter last year.  Firearms division net sales of $194.7 million increased by 56.4% over the comparable quarter last year.  Accessories division net sales were $16.1 million, compared with $6.1 million for the comparable quarter last year, a period in which the company acquired Battenfeld Technologies, Inc. (BTI) and therefore reported only six weeks of accessories division sales.
      • Gross margin for the quarter was 41.1% compared with 33.6% for the comparable quarter last year. 
      • Quarterly GAAP net income was $31.4 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, compared with $8.1 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the comparable quarter last year. Third quarter 2016 GAAP net income per diluted share included an expense of $1.7 million for amortization, net of tax, related to the BTI acquisition.  The increase in net income over the comparable quarter last year was a result of increased revenue, favorable fixed-cost absorption, and lower acquisition related expenses, partially offset by increased profit related compensation accruals and additional intangible amortization expense as a result of the BTI acquisition.
      • Quarterly non-GAAP net income was $33.2 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, compared with $11.2 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, for the comparable quarter last year.
      • Quarterly non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDAS was $61.5 million, or 29.2% of net sales.

      James Debney, Smith & Wesson Holding Corporation President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "The combined strength of our firearms and accessories businesses delivered an exceptional performance, driven by healthy consumer demand across our growing portfolio of firearm and outdoor lifestyle offerings. During the third quarter, the Adjusted National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) data, which serves as an indicator of consumer purchases, reported a significant increase in growth versus the prior year, especially in handguns. In addition, our product sell-through at distribution was much stronger than we had anticipated.  Our flexible manufacturing model, combined with our ability to successfully utilize the internal inventories we had built in anticipation of potential sell-through strength, allowed us to capture incremental sales in the third quarter.  Despite the fact that we entered our fourth quarter with lower inventories, we are focused on increasing the production rates of our key products during the fourth quarter and we are therefore increasing our guidance for the full fiscal year."

      Jeff Buchanan, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Administrative Officer, said, "Our gross margin performance was strong in the third quarter, driven by the favorable impact of increased production volumes in our firearms division and by strong gross margins in our accessories division.  We generated $51.0 million in operating cash flow and $46.3 million in free cash flow in the third quarter, and our balance sheet remains healthy as we ended the quarter with cash of $105.2 million and no borrowings on our $175.0 million revolving line of credit."

      Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures

      In this press release, certain non-GAAP financial measures, including "non-GAAP net income," "non-GAAP net income per diluted share," and "Adjusted EBITDAS" are presented. From time-to-time, the company considers and uses these supplemental measures of operating performance in order to provide the reader with an improved understanding of underlying performance trends.  The company believes it is useful for itself and the reader to review, as applicable, both (1) GAAP measures that include (i) amortization of acquired intangible assets, (ii) TCA accessories transition costs, (iii) discontinued operations, (iv) DOJ and SEC costs including insurance recovery costs, (v) acquisition-related costs, (vi) fair value inventory step-up and backlog expense, (vii) bond premium paid, (viii) debt extinguishment costs, (ix) the tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments, (x) interest expense, (xi) income tax expense, (xii) depreciation and amortization, (xiii) stock-based compensation expense, (xiv) payments for acquisitions, and (xv) receipts from note receivable; and (2) the non-GAAP measures that exclude such information.  The company presents these non-GAAP measures because it considers them an important supplemental measure of its performance. The company's definition of these adjusted financial measures may differ from similarly named measures used by others. The company believes these measures facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period by eliminating potential differences caused by the existence and timing of certain expense items that would not otherwise be apparent on a GAAP basis.  These non-GAAP measures have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the company's GAAP measures.  The principal limitations of these measures are that they do not reflect the company's actual expenses and may thus have the effect of inflating its financial measures on a GAAP basis.

      Certain statements contained in this press release may be deemed to be forward-looking statements under federal securities laws, and we intend that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe-harbor created thereby.  Such forward-looking statements include our belief that the combined strength of our firearms and accessories businesses delivered an exceptional performance, driven by healthy consumer demand across our growing portfolio of firearm and outdoor lifestyle offerings; our focus on increasing the production rates of our key products during the fourth quarter; our belief that our balance sheet remains healthy; and our expectations for net sales, GAAP net income per diluted share, amortization of acquired intangible assets, debt extinguishment costs, bond premium paid, insurance recovery costs, tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments, and non-GAAP net income per diluted share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 as well as for full year fiscal 2016.  We caution that these statements are qualified by important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected by such forward-looking statements.  Such factors include the demand for our products; the costs and ultimate conclusion of certain legal matters; the state of the U.S. economy in general and the firearm industry in particular; general economic conditions and consumer spending patterns; the potential for increased regulation of firearms and firearm-related products; speculation surrounding fears of terrorism and crime; our growth opportunities; our anticipated growth; our ability to increase demand for our products in various markets, including consumer, law enforcement, and military channels, domestically and internationally; the position of our hunting products in the consumer discretionary marketplace and distribution channel; our penetration rates in new and existing markets; our strategies; our ability to introduce new products; the success of new products; our ability to expand our markets; our ability to integrate acquired businesses in a successful manner; the general growth of our firearm accessories business; the potential for cancellation of orders from our backlog; and other risks detailed from time to time in our reports filed with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2015.
